If most of the audio brands use a neutral color palette (black or white), 1MORE colorbuds can be said to be 'deviant' from usual, like candy. 1More color buds carrying substantive features that are collectively not found in wireless earbuds under one million.
This time, we had the opportunity to review one of 1More's mainstay products, namely 1MORE Colorbuds True Wireless in-Ear Headphones for several weeks. The shape is indeed fairly unique, following the curve of the user's ear that makes it comfortable. Plus the sound quality produced is also capable. To know its abilities and superiority, here is ExGamesplay review about 1More Colorbuds True Wireless in-Ear Headphones.
Sales package
1MORE Colorbuds is present in a compact package, with a box size that is not too small. For 1More colorbuds device that we try this has pink (pink). Here's the supporting element in the packaging package:
- A pair of 1More color buds in pink complete with the charging case
- Black type C charger cable
- Short user guide
- A pair of ears
- 1MORE Colorbuds True Wireless In-Ear Headphones stickers.
Design
Whatever variant of the selected color, the construction of the Earbud remains the same part which is entirely made of plastic and rubber coating. This rubber layer is good enough to keep the Earbud remain in its place. Plastic construction is also more economical that allows 1MORE to increase its budget for other things, such as touch panels, automatic ear detections, and fast charging, all of which are supported by Colorbuds. The touch control, even though it is a premium feature but does not always function well during the review process that we run.
Furthermore, this earbud is certainly conceptualized. The shiny color makes Charging Case impressed being more 'colored' with its thin hinges. Like most charger casings, colorbuds casing uses magnets to place earbuds in the container. This magnet is quite strong, and there are times when the Earbud is difficult to remove carefully.
Each Earbud accommodates two microphones that use noisy reducer technology.
1more color buds users must manually pair the headset via the Bluetooth menu. Later, the Earbud will automatically be connected back to the last used device.
Features and Performance
Wireless Earbuds and Bluetooth Headphones both rely on firmware updates for security patches and general improvements. As for new features, users need to download the application. 1MORE Colorbuds operates through Bluetooth 5.0 firmware and supports aptX and AAC for streaming to Android and iOS devices.
APTX support is arguably good for Android smartphones because the Android OS does not encode the AAC Bluetooth codec correctly across the hardware. Instead, this prioritizes power efficiency rather than streaming quality. Even though this is good for battery life, it will affect AAC performance that is less than optimal.
Users can adjust the volume directly from the headset but this must be reduced through the 1MORE Music application.
The power of connection is very good with a range of 10 meters. In addition, Colorbuds supports mono hearing with one of the Earbuds. Initially, it was rather difficult to change the left earbud to Mono mode, where the author had to release the two earbuds from the casing, then return the right Earbud to the casing. If only releasing the left earbud cannot make an initial connection to the smartphone. To make the right Earbud the desired mono recipient, the author just releases the left earbud.
Battery life
1MORE Colorbuds can last for 5 hours 54 minutes with one charging that almost reaches a six-hour battery life that is claimed to be 1More. The author arrived at this measurement after using the Earbud at a constant 75dB (the average radio sound) until the battery runs out. The compact 1More charger casing provides an additional 16 hours while traveling. In total, the author gets almost 22 hours of battery life from Colorbuds plus a combination of casings.
When testing, the author can charge the Earbud quickly, which is enough to place it in the casing for 15 minutes and can be used for more than one and a half hours. For full charging, it takes around 70 minutes, and 85 minutes to fully charge the casing via USB Type-C.
